At my store they are located in the genre of what the movies are and then are put in alphabetical order based on the first movie listed on the package.

Now that I think about it, I did see a few Triple Packs strewn around by different genre, based on the letter of the first film, like you said.

I believe the huge row of them under Action genre was because some employee decided to be lazy and just picked the generic "T" section haha.

It really sucks how Bestbuy has there movies and why don't they have any stuff instock come-on Bestbuy your to rich of a company to have out of stock items online and instore

I only find 4 steelbooks today and they didn't have UV codes and the don't the limited the trades to 5 who does that

Sadly...from what I hear, Best Buy isn't as rich a company as you'd think. There's word their B&M stores may go the route of Circuit City..

Personally I hope not, as Best Buy to me is one of those stores you can have fun browsing in, whether you're going there to buy something or not. Mine is literally only a quarter mile walk from my work, so I go there a lot on break and just browse around.

I'm actually dredding the day merchandising goes all online, because then you have the accursed ship times to endure.

Sites like Amazon are awesome, but sometimes, you just gotta have that item "now"!

Sadly to say this but I don't see Gamestop and Bestbuy around in 3-4 year

Also what is Shawshank Redemption, all about and also I saw a steelbook of total recall should I pick it up i wanted to wait for it to go down like the RE Steelbooks

Shawshank Redemption happens to be one of the best films ever made in my opinion, and a lot of other people. It is the story of a man who is wrongfully accused of the murder of his wife and her lover and he sentenced to life in prison. The story is told over several years and is about his friendship with his fellow inmates and what he goes through while there with the Warden, guards, and it all leads to a great ending. It is a compelling story and I highly recommend it.

But you can kind of see my point now lol; that if you are required to do a phone eligibility test AND trade in a DVD to get a coupon, it made no point for the girl to see if I was phone eligible today when I clearly wasn't yesterday. Should've just taken the DVDs and handed me the coupons. Probably would've saved around 40 mins of time. But I digress..I got the Blus I came to get, so all is well haha. I just think if I do this promo again in the foreseeable days, I'm going to go to another BBY to avoid hassle and condescending looks.

Yeah, especially considering you don't need to do the upgrade check... that's supposed to be a separate coupon. This is like the 6th iteration of this deal so you'd think someone there would have a clue.

I had an easy time on my two runs this week... guy today even quickly fixed a price when I showed him the sale label

have been unsuccessful at finding sucker punch steelbook, v for vendetta steelbook , and gran torino steelbook, at 2 bestbuys, might try a third tomorrow

picked up 2 triple packs today

1. Kubrick triple pack
2.American History X/History of Violence/True Romance
3. Lincoln Lawyer

each was $5 after coup, also did a return/rebuy on the steels i purchased last week

probably pick up dredd and taken 2 tomorrow

I picked up departed, holy grail, casino royale, hook and inglorious bazterds. I didn't know departed and goodfellas came together for the same price though.... The girl at the register also let me keep ny coupon

There is not much in the way of new stuff I am looking to get...basicly trying to replace my dvd copies with bluray. down to under 60...started with over 400 when I first took the bluray plunge. many titles I just realized were bad purchases.

anyhow, yesterday I was able to swap out 5 for the bluray counter part.
Animal House
Billy Madison
Children of men
Cruel Intentions
Knocked Up

How do they handle multiple DVD sets, such as a season of a TV show? Is it one $5 coupon for those? Or multiple?

in two trips so far i was able to snag:

breaking bad seasons 1 & 2
inception (SB)
the hangover (bf wanted it)
fight club (10th anniversary)
monty python and the holy grail

still have 2 coupons left and more dvds to trade in, but i've had no luck finding those triple packs. might pick up shawshank redemption SB since i've never seen it and have heard nothing but good things about it.

anyone know if these are the only sale items through the promotion or can we expect more weekly sales until the 2nd? i may hold off a week and see what happens.

Haul 2

Taken 2 - $14.99
Old School - $4.99
Ides of March (no coupon) - $7.99

It's supposed to be one per set, however I just separate them out into individual cases with extra printouts/copies of the cover art. No way am I going to trade in 4 or 5+ discs as a single upgrade.

Looks like I'll just have to order the Departed and Sucker Punch steelbooks online and hopefully get them before the promo expires, as they aren't listed as available anywhere in SoCal.

Picked up:
16block/ last man standing/last Boy Scout triple
There will be blood (last copy)
Le miserable
Beetle juice/Charlie/corpse triple

All for 5 a piece surprised no one mentioned the 16 block pack

One coupon per set. If you want to get rid of a multi-DVD set and can't sell it outright, DVD2Blu might be the better option since it's per disc there.
